Excerpt from The Curability of Insanity and the Individualized Treatment of the Insane Insanity is a disease of the brain, including a departure from ordinary modes of thought and-states of feeling in health. - Dr. Ray. Insanity is a calamity incident alike to tender sensibility, to grand enthusiasm, to sublime genius, and to intense exertion of the intellect. - Sir James Macintosh. Whoever has brought himself to consider a disease of the brain as differing only in a degree from a disease of the lung, has robbed insanity of that mysterious horror which forms its chief malignity. - Sir James Macintosh - Life of Robert Hall. The physician, confident in the assurance that patient and careful observation of insanity, with the earnest desire to understand its nature, docs fit him to express with authority the results of his experience, must not shrink from pronouncing his opinion sincerely and fearlessly, however unpopular it may be. - Maudcsley on Responsibility in Mental Disease.
